Application filed November 7, 1908. Serial No. 461,465.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH T. Mc- GowAN, residin at West Quincy, inthe county of Norfo k, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain newand useful Improvem'ents in Crib-Covers, whereof the fol- J owing is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

My invention consists in a crib cover which effectually prevents aninfant, from disarranging its covers or from uncovering its hands andarms. The cover is easily attached to and removed from the crib, andisboth economical and washable.- p

In the accompanying drawings Figure I,

cover in place. Fig. II, is an illustration of the crib cover showingits construction.

The crib cover 1, is made of soft muslinor othersuitabletextilematerial.Itisrectangular in shape having a width corresponding more orless to thewidth of the crib,in connection with which it is to be used. Its depth,may vary according to the size of the infant.

At the four corners of the cover are affixed tying strings 2, 2,2, 2.Near the center of the cover the a erture 3,,is rovided, which is largeenoug to receive t e neck of the infant, and capable of being enlargedby un-.

faste the complementary flaps 4, *4, so that the mfants head may bepassed through the aperture. Thefiaps are shown as secured by buttons,but other means, as for instance a t string may be em loyed.

0 use the cover it is a 'usted upon the inis impossible' for the infantto withdraw its head from'the cover. The cover is then tied in placeframe of t e crib as shown ig. 1. Under lie over a p by fastening thetyiua strings to the these circumstances the infants headrests upon theupfier half of the cover, which may cover protects the entire bodyincluding the arms of the child. The coverings are p aced over this partof the crib cover, and as a result it is impossible for the movements ofthe child to disarrange .the covering. At the same time all the partsare readily remov able andadjustable.

' As the entire article may be made of muslin or tape or similarmaterials, the crib cover-' 1 ing is-easily washed, and may also be madeat very small expense. As.it has no straps or metal parts capable ofinjuring the mfant, it is tobe preferred to other an more complicatedcontrivances which'have heretofore een devised in the effort same end. I

Having thus described my invention,- I clairm I to accomplish the Aninfants crib coverm'g, comprising a rectangular sheet having an aperturetherein extending transversely of said sheet and arranged at a distancefrom the end of the Philadelphia, Pennsyl-J 0w, while the lower part ofthe sheet, so as'to provide a space for the head to
